West Indies trail by 361 runs, 5 wickets in hand. Only set batsman at the pitch Blackwoood, batting with 60 runs after 84 delivery and Holder on his side. Are West Indies team repeat the same story or the batsman rescue them unless another big defeat which is absolutely pathetic to see WI unable to give a fight.
At the end of second day's play, West Indies trail by 336 runs, with just two wickets remaining. Two debutants are at the crease - Joshua Da Silva and Chemar Holder. As of now, West Indies look completely incapable of playing test format. They are still very good in T20, and to an extent ODI formats. But time and again, it has been proved that they can't compete in the test format.
This is a poor performance from West Indies and NZ will ensure the follow-on and try to win the match by an innings. The test may end in just 3 days time. That will be a disappointment not only for the West Indies team but also the organizers and spectators won't like to see these one sided test matches.
There is not much cricket now left in this this match because more or less the result will be New Zealand winning by an inning and some runs, unless NZ decide not to give them follow on which seems unlikely. Sad part is that none of them were able to build partnership from another end when Jermaine was batting else atleast they could have reached some respectable score. Let’s see in second innings if WI can build partnership and if can reach anywhere near 300 runs will help them for the 2nd test match.
